Chapter 68: Take-it-or-leave-it
On a cold winter night, the fluttering snowflakes stopped at some point.
A fiery dragon, along a somewhat bumpy road, winds its way.
When I got closer, I saw by the light of the fire, it turned out to be a soldier dressed in black clothes and black armor, carrying torches, taking advantage of the night to hurry.
In the past two days, the weather has become more and more changeable.
In the evening, there are still snowflakes flying in the sky, but in the middle of the night, a round of the moon hangs high in the sky, and the sky is full of stars, which is very beautiful.
Only the biting cold wind, which seemed to be unchanged, still whistled in the ears of the soldiers.
This is the Xuanwu Legion led by Cao Bianjiao, marching at night.
The soldiers, one foot high and the other low, stepped on the muddy road where the snow had just submerged the soles of their feet, making a "squeak" sound.
This time out of the customs to the north, Cao Bianjiao's Xuanwu Legion was lucky to draw the position of pioneer.
Cao Bianjiao, who was in ecstasy, was almost overjoyed, and in a hurry, he immediately gathered 90,000 soldiers and 10,000 logistics soldiers of the Xuanwu Legion, and immediately left Shanhaiguan and advanced towards the Liaoxi Corridor.
No wonder he was so happy.
Since the formation of the new army, Cao Bianjiao, who is very belligerent, has not made any battles at all, except for training the soldiers with all his strength every day.
A few days ago, the big bandits, those rabble, were not the enemies of Cao Bianjiao, who was brave and abnormal, and easily led the soldiers of his division to sweep the target area he was responsible for.
And the just-concluded siege of Shanhaiguan has also become a performance of the Guards Scouts, and there is basically nothing to do with Cao Bianjiao and his Xuanwu Legion.
This makes Cao Bianjiao, who is as war-hungry as his life, how can he be embarrassed?
Now, the expedition outside the gate has begun, and his Xuanwu Legion is very lucky to get the position of vanguard in his hands.
He was simply ecstatic at the moment when the draw of lots for the four corps commanders ended.
At that time, in front of the other three army commanders, he danced the "ghost step dance" that has become popular in the army recently!
It is said that this kind of dance, which swept the whole army in a very short period of time, was also created by His Majesty the Emperor.
This "ghost step dance" is full of rhythm and is the most suitable for venting the excitement in your heart.
The dance steps are full of magic, and people will sink unconsciously.
His Majesty the Emperor, he is really too talented.
The soldiers all said so.
They don't know that their emperor is just a pirated emperor, and he belongs to the pioneer of the "take-it-or-leave-it" doctrine of this era.
For someone who came from the great dye vat of the 21st century, piracy or something is all too common.
In the 21st century, often an idea, a work, or a genuine product has not yet opened the market, and the streets are full of pirated copies.
Although piracy stifles the enthusiasm of the original creator and the vital interests of the author, in the face of the vast trend of the times, it is too normal to stifle some original creators who are not famous at all.
In that era of rampant materialism and moral degradation, there is basically no room for original works to survive.
The whole world has become an era of money slaves, and the rise of piracy, borrowing, etc., is a trend, not something that human beings can resist.
There are so many people in the world, and it's not a big deal to lose one of your original creators.
If you can't figure it out, you can jump into the river!
The river is not covered anyway.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the "take-it-or-leave-it" initiated by Zhu Youxiao.
What's more, he thought: In his previous life, he was also a victim of "take-it-or-leave-it" doctrine, and he came to this parallel time and space, so it would be better to let others become victims.
I am also the original creator of this time and space, and I didn't pirate the original works of this era, so I naturally didn't have any guilt in my heart.
Starting from the afternoon of the day before yesterday, Cao Bianjiao led his Xuanwu Legion soldiers out of Shanhaiguan, crossed Balipu, and began a rapid march.
Along the way, it took only two days, and he easily led 90,000 soldiers to complete the horizontal push of the Guangning Central Front Office, the Guangning Front Guard, the Guangning Middle and Rear Office, and the Ningyuan Central Right Office.
The same was true of the other forts encountered along the way, which did not cause any resistance or trouble to the Xuanwu Legion at all.
After leaving a few battalions of soldiers to deal with the aftermath of several large guards, Cao Bianjiao did not stop for a moment, urging the soldiers to hurry up at night.
As for the few battalion soldiers who stayed along the way, as long as they waited for the follow-up large army to arrive, the soldiers would soon be able to catch up, and there was no need to worry about not having the opportunity to participate in the first wave of attacks on the Tartars.
He is ready to arrive at Ning Yuanwei at around 0:00 this evening, and take down Ning Yuanwei, one of the two largest military towns in the Western Liaoning Corridor, in one go!
"Hahaha! Lao Tzu swept all the way, where else is there anything about the other three legions? ”
He looked at the soldiers who braved the cold wind and rode the night, and found that everyone was in good spirits and not tired, and he couldn't help laughing while feeling comforted in his heart.
He knew that the 90,000 soldiers of his legion had been suffocated during this time.
They had been training and training all day, and they had been looking forward to a good fight, and now they were about to get their wish, and although they had rested for no more than three hours a day for two days, their morale was getting higher and higher.
However, he would not take the upcoming Ningyuan Acropolis lightly.
The reason why I hurried by night was also to take one of those rebels by surprise and succeed in one fell swoop.
He also thought that he would spend the night in the Ningyuan Acropolis tonight!
Ningyuan Acropolis, as the first important town in the western Liaoning corridor at this time, although the city is not large, but the defense facilities are perfect, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is a real hard bone.
Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to successfully capture the city without the assistance of artillery battalions.
Otherwise, in history, during the reign of Huang Taiji, he launched so many attacks on the Ningyuan Acropolis, but he did not break it.
It was because of the interception of the Ningyuan Acropolis and Shanhaiguan that Huang Taiji launched several customs robberies, and had to make a detour to Duoyan Sanwei and Mongolia to enter the customs.
Ningyuan Acropolis was founded in Xuande in the Ming Dynasty for three years, located in the throat of the western Liaoning corridor, is the traffic artery leading to the Central Plains in the eastern part of Liaodong, the geographical location is extremely important, and has always been a place for soldiers to fight.
The small city is more than 800 meters long from north to south, more than 800 meters long from east to west, the wall is about three zhang high, and the four corners are high forts, and various large and small artillery pieces are erected.
There is a majestic bell and drum tower in the middle of the ancient city, about five or six zhang high, it is the commanding height of the whole city, echoes with the four city gate arrow towers, it is the place where the drum marches to command the whole city in wartime, it is easy to overlook the battlefield situation around the city.
"Although the Acropolis of Ningyuan is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but now, what ......?"
While urging the soldiers to hurry as soon as possible, Cao Bianjiao thought: "The spies and deserters who fled from Shanhaiguan before were also cautious, and the speed of travel was not as fast as Lao Tzu's Xuanwu Legion. ”
"In this way, Ning Yuan Acropolis, who has not yet received the news of the change of ownership at Shanhaiguan, they definitely didn't expect that Lao Tzu would suddenly come and launch a surprise attack from behind them......"
When Cao Bianjiao thought of this, he was very sure of his actions after arriving at the Ningyuan Acropolis.
